Frosty Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hey Rob & Co.I'm about ready to grow gills here in Colo. with all the rain we have had lately? Not sure because I haven't watched the weather forecast but are you getting alot of rain down there? If you are has it blown out areas so you find more of the elusive yellow metal? Anybody doing any dredging? Just curious.Take care & watch your back, keep on beeping - Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Frosty. Not much rain down here in the Bradshaw mountains. A sprinkle today , a stray thunderstorm a few days ago. No water running from it. Barely wet the ground. We know how to run a desert down this way. We had enough during the winter and spring to keep the fire danger way down though. We're right in the middle of what is usually our fire season , but there's only been a few small fires down toward Tucson. Hooray!! No forest closures this year.----Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hey Frosty So far we have had it pretty good this year. the heat is late, the rain has been minimal, all good for swinging. but its starting to build up. you can feel the monsoons and humidity warming up. when it rains here in monsoon season it pours. Im just down the hill from the Bradshaws more towards the flats were it is a lot more sand. Dredging is limited. It can be raging flood one minute and dry in an hour. the water runs under the sand for some time in many creeks but you have to dig down to it and recirculate in the hole. (desert dredging) but hey with all the rain your getting just think about all that gold that is washing out of the hills. Take care AznuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyndham Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I was looking at the weather map the other day an it seem that the monsoons were a bit east in NM right now. Is it too early for AZ monsoons?Wyndham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Wyndum. They start in New Mexico and Colorado about 3 weeks ahead of us, Then gradually start spreading west. Usually after the 4th of July is when we start getting the cloudbursts.-----Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
